Surgery Resident Research

Each resident is expected to be involved in research activities during his/her training at Memorial University Medical Center. Our department of surgical education has been a leader in research, publishing the results of clinical research in national journals. Because of the great volume of clinical experience, there is much opportunity for research. At a minimum, residents are required to complete one peer-reviewed publication as principal author. Below are examples of our residents' research.
